Warfarin pharmacogenetics in a black Zimbabwean cohort : an observational prospective study

Aim: A prospective observational study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of implementing clinical guidelines for warfarin dosing in black Zimbabwean patients. Methods: CYP2C9*5, CYP2C9*6, CYP2C9*8 and CYP2C9*11 and VKORC1 c. 1639 G>A variations were observed in 62 study patients. Results & Conclusion: Overall, 39/62 (62.90%) participants did not receive a warfarin starting dose as would have been recommended by Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium guidelines. US FDA and Dutch Pharmacogenetics Working Group guidelines are based on CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 only, hence, unlikely useful in this cohort, where such variants were not detected. Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium guidelines, on the other hand, have a specific recommendation on the African-specific variants CYP2C9*5, CYP2C9*6 and CYP2C9*11, and are hence suitable for implementation in Zimbabwe and would help optimize warfarin doses in patients in the study cohort.
